SIR: I have taken the time to write you, in the hope of claring up the mess you've made with this report. First, last 9/15, one million portuguese , 10% of the entire population, took to the streets, amid unanimous opposition,even within the other party of the ruling Cabinet, and the PSD itself in open rebellion against the PM. The protests went on without virtually no incidents, and the photo-op of the day turned out to be when a young girl embraced an armoured police officer guarding the building where the IMF had set up shop. I would be hard pressed to find a more contrasting situation with Greece. The only person leaving this national consensus is the PM himself. There is no talk of shredding the deal with the IMF, leaving the Eurozone, or the EU whatsoever. The only problem seems to be the PM himself. I would like that in future reports of my country, the WSJ would live up to it's reputation.
